The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a flash flood warning for 10 districts in Jharkhand due to heavy rainfall. On September 1, 2026, Dumaria in East Singhbhum received the highest rainfall at 217 mm, followed by Dumri in Giridih and Mahuadawar in Latehar. The warning covers districts including Garhwa, Palamu, Latehar, Lohardaga, Gumla, Khunti, Saraikela-Kharsawan, West and East Singhbhum, and Simdega until September 2. The IMD predicts continued heavy rain through September 5, with 'red' alerts for Garhwa, Palamu, Simdega, and West Singhbhum, and 'orange' alerts for other districts. Water levels in rivers like Kharkhai and Subarnarekha have risen above danger marks, prompting authorities to urge residents in low-lying areas to take shelter.
